How/can I print both sides of paper?

9 years ago

How can I print on both sides of a paper? I have a Epson Ink jet 600 printer.
I did a bit of research, but it would not do what I wanted it to do
Thanks
Marie

Print one side, turn paper over, print backside.

What exactly are you trying to do? because the printer in question has an auto duplexer thus should be able to print on both sides regardless of where the source is coming from.

Not trying to be rude or anything are you sure you have the duplex option on?

By all means do line silk curtains! They are among the most vulnerable to damage by the sun. Only jute is worse, as far as I can remember. Among the natural fibers, linen is the most resistant, followed by cotton. Some of the synthetics do quite well unlined, especially if they have been treated with sun resistance chemicals.

If you have DWs on both sides of sink, can I see your plumbing?

I think you all are spot on. Even with the high loops, we're still getting some backwash. It's all about pressure...the high loop is designed to accomodate the pressure caused by gravity pulling on the fluid in the hose. However, once the fluid from the other DW draining comes into play, it's not only the weight of the water, but the force of it being pumped out as well- and that's just too much for a high loop to handle. We also don't like the disposal hooked up to the smaller side of the double sink- we let the installer talk us out of having it on the larger bowl and have regretted it ever since. Sounds like we need to find a good and flexible plumber to redo this mess. We had one plumber take a look at it while he was over to quote us for a different job and all he did was go on and on about how it wasn't to code because there was no airgap installed (untrue!) and how no DW would drain properly without an air gap- untrue! When I asked about a Johnson T and he didn't know what I was talking about I knew we needed someone better that at least knew as much as or preferably MORE than I do about plumbing. Also, one more thing: I just want to thank everyone here in Kitchens again for being so amazingly helpful and taking the time to respond. Even though we did our kitchen in 2006-2007 and I was a regular poster through the beginning of 2009, I love that I can get such help after being gone a year, and knowing that I would get the same quality of help even if this was the first time I was ever posting here. I recently posted some plans in baths and building a home (we're planning a large addition) and got almost no responses....that really drove home how amazing this kitchen forum really is. Thank you!

Question: can you put a disposal on both sides of the sink?
Q
Comments (7)
What you've mentioned is one reason why people buy single bowl sinks - with a double bowl sink, there is one side without the disposal, and it's an extra chore to dump out the slimy strainer from the non-disposal drain. Yet things may still go down that non-disposal drain that could cause a clog. Also, with a two-bowl sink, whichever side you end up putting the disposal in, you will be doing something where you wished the disposal were on the other side, whichever that is. I couldn't tell from your post whether you are shopping for a sink. If you are, consider a single bowl sink to eliminate the problem that you brought up. There are other advantages to a single bowl sink, mostly that it is large enough to set down baking pans and sheets, or wash pots without banging into a divider.

island /peninsula with storage both sides and drawers on seating side
Q

Thank you all for commenting. I believe the potential counter width would be 56".. increased from the current 40" not 42" like I stated originally. I have plenty of room for passage behind chairs . We currently have 14" of leg room and would have enough leg room for 10" of overhang so that is not an issue. Instead of drawers I think it would be wise to have cubbies for short decorative baskets instead of drawers that would serve the needs of storing thin charging cables for my fitbit, garmin, power meter etc. Another cubby would be for pencils and note paper. All items easily accessed from the area we need them. Below short cubbies would be cabinets with narrow storage. We will be losing some uppers and replacing with rustic thick shelves on peninsula wall. My husband is wanting his cables at his fingertips when working on the computer for downloading garmin and power meter info. That is his only demand in my new kitchen. He sits next to the wall at the beginning of the peninsula every morning and after his long bike rides. So there is no changing his working station. Plus that is where he view the kitchen tv from. His so called "favorite seat in the house". Would I truly need two slabs for 56" wide peninsula? Budget is not a concern at this point. Just want convenient space. I drew this up quick ...peninsula on right is area visiting about. From end to end of counters is 19' 8" Current kitchen... Cabinets also on opposite wall.

Thanks, that is what I told my friend I would have to do. I did ask someone here where I live now and she told me they make 2 sided printers-so that is the information I will be telling her
Since the information is needed tomorrow, we decided she would work something else out and give me more time next time.

I have always bought HP and there has been an option to print both sides on everyone. If I had ten sheets it would print 5 then I would turn the paper stack over and it would print the other side.

Thank you EmmaR, I had often wondered about my HP printer's 2 sided capability but been too lazy to investigate. Your explanation makes perfect sense. I never print enough to worry about it really.

Apologies to Marie, I am not trying to hijack your thread at all.

When I print 2 sides of something, it usually takes me a couple of tries, as I always manage to put the paper in the wrong way and it prints the second page upside down.

If you print a few pages first, make sure you print 1,3, and 5
the first time, turn the pages and print 2, 4, and 6 ;-)

The specs for the Epson 600 show that it does double-sided printing -- but I do not know the specifics. I have an older Epson -- here are my procedures: When the print screen shows, there is a Properties selection. Click that and another screen shows a "Layout" tab. Select that and then hit the box for "Double-Sided Printing."

With HP printers printing both sides, when the 1st side is completed, a diagram pops up showing how to turn the stack around. It gets turned around - not over. Gotta pay attention. :-)

On HP printers, double sided printing is an optional feature. A printer may or may not be so equipped. Printers with double sided printing have an extra appendage attached to the backside of the printer. This is the page turn-over accessory. It must be present for double sided printing.

A caveat: Double sided printing using the duplexer is considerable more slow than for regular printing. After printing the first side, the printer pauses for ink drying time (typically 5 seconds) before turing the page over and then printing the other side. Drying time is adjustable, but it should not be too short because wet ink can smear and may gunk up sensitive locations inside the printer.

The fast way is to print the first side (odd numbered pages), and then print the even numbered pages. When doing the manual method, there is potential for messing up the job, therefore I recommend breaking the job up into no more than 10 sheets at a time (20 pages). This becomes important for a large number of pages.
